<appendix id="patches" xreflabel="Useful Patches and Utilities for Bugzilla">
<title>Contrib</title>
<para>There are a number of unofficial Bugzilla add-ons in the
<filename class="directory">$BUGZILLA_ROOT/contrib/</filename>
directory. This section documents them.</para>
<section id="cmdline">
<title>Command-line Search Interface</title>
<para>There are a suite of Unix utilities for searching Bugzilla from the
command line. They live in the
<filename class="directory">contrib/cmdline</filename>
directory. However, they
have not yet been updated to work with 2.16 (post-templatisation.).
There are three files - <filename>query.conf</filename>,
<filename>buglist</filename> and <filename>bugs</filename>.</para>
<para><filename>query.conf</filename>
contains the mapping from options to field
names and comparison types. Quoted option names are "grepped" for, so it
should be easy to edit this file. Comments (#) have no effect; you must
make sure these lines do not contain any quoted "option".</para>
<para><filename>buglist</filename>
is a shell script which submits a Bugzilla query and writes
the resulting HTML page to stdout. It supports both short options, (such
as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options (such as "--assignedto=foo" or
"--reporter=bar"). If the first character of an option is not "-", it is
treated as if it were prefixed with "--default=".</para>
<para>The column list is taken from the COLUMNLIST environment variable.
This is equivalent to the "Change Columns" option when you list bugs in
buglist.cgi. If you have already used Bugzilla, grep for COLUMNLIST
in your cookies file to see your current COLUMNLIST setting.</para>
<para><filename>bugs</filename> is a simple shell script which calls
<filename>buglist</filename> and extracts the
bug numbers from the output. Adding the prefix
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=" turns the bug list into
a working link if any bugs are found. Counting bugs is easy. Pipe the
results through
<command>sed -e 's/,/ /g' | wc | awk '{printf $2 "\n"}'</command>
</para>
<para>Akkana Peck says she has good results piping
<filename>buglist</filename> output through
<command>w3m -T text/html -dump</command>
</para>
